A walk through the hallways of ICSB

I was walking back to my classroom from the workroom Monday morning when I heard the most beautiful lesson coming from another classroom.

All students at ICSB take Christian studies classes. I was walking by one of the classes as the teacher was talking about fellowship. I heard the teacher describe fellowship as "just hanging out" and "just being with each other." I thought to myself, "That is a good way to describe fellowship to a high schooler--just hanging out." In response to the teacher, the student replied, "Relationship." I was so amazed at the understanding this student had. He took fellowship to a whole new level, a personal level. Amen.

The rest of my day was just as good. My class of all 8th grade boys was very enjoyable!! They were a little antsy at first, and I was worried that it would be a struggle to get through the art vocab notes I wanted to cover. However, they settled down and were very attentive. They would add thoughtful comments, answer my questions, and nod with understanding every now and then. I know it wasn't my teaching that did this!!

This is just one Monday at ICSB. May God bless the rest of my week and yours.

  1. How long is each class? How long is the school day? As an "old" teacher, I'm interested in some of the small details!!
